Liu Lanxiang's expression suddenly changed: "Hongwei, what are you talking about?"
Does it show his ability?
It's not easy for Li Hongjian and others to make money, but it's easy for him to make money?
Li Yutong had a blank expression on her face. She held her mother back and stopped her from speaking. She said, "Dad, my uncle and my aunt are all adults. Everyone has a job and an income. Don't take on all the responsibilities yourself and deny them the opportunity to be filial to my grandfather. Otherwise, others will think that my uncle and aunt are unfilial."
Please forgive me for saying something a bit off now, there's nothing I can do about it.
In her previous life, her grandmother was lying in her home, and her mother was the only one taking care of her, and also serving meals to these uncles and aunts. It was more difficult and tiring than being a nanny.
A nanny who takes care of more than a dozen people must be paid twice as much as an average nanny, right?
The nanny doesn't have to be accused of not cooking nutritious meals while she's working. If you want to eat nutritious food, you can hire a nutritionist to serve your family.
Her mother Liu Lanxiang had several jobs, her efforts were not appreciated, and she felt she was obliged to pay money. In short, she did not get anything good. Her third uncle even took out a fruit knife and wanted to fight with her father. It was her eldest aunt Li Hongyan who instigated her behind the scenes.
Li Yutong's feelings towards her uncle and aunt are just that: her father's younger brothers and their wives.
Because in return, they treated her the same way.
Therefore, it is impossible for her to be like her father, who, because they are a family by blood, would be willing to be open-hearted to his younger brothers without asking for anything in return.
When she was young, she even felt that the Li family was divided into different classes.
Her eldest aunt is a first-class person, her grandfather Li Pingwang is a second-class person, her grandmother Chen Xiaoying and several uncles are in the same group, her father Li Hongwei is a fourth-class person, her two aunts are fifth-class people, and the daughters-in-law of the old Li family and the children born to them are marginal people in the old Li family and are dispensable.
After hearing what Li Yutong said, the second brother Li Hongjian was not stupid either. He immediately heard the disapproval in Li Yutong's tone.
No one likes to suffer hardship, so when the eldest brother said he was willing to do it, they didn't say anything. But Xiaoyu seemed unwilling for her father to put in this effort.
Several people felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xiaoyu has grown up and become sensible." Fourth Aunt Yang Xiaohui said with a smile.
There was something else behind her words, and Li Yutong also smiled: "Nothing else, it's been so many years, anyway, some people say that my father is not filial to my grandparents, but not good enough, so he should be more conscious now and let others show him how to be considered a filial son who moves heaven and earth."
As soon as she said this, the faces of the people around her changed. They realized that she was making a veiled complaint.
"Stop talking." Li Hongwei was the first to scold Li Yutong.
Li Hongwei is a person who cares a lot about his reputation. As the eldest child, he was taught from a young age that people in the Li family are looked down upon and that our family is poor, so you have to work harder so that others will look up to you.
Her father Li Hongwei has always felt that he is looked down upon. No matter what he does, it is to prove to irrelevant outsiders that there are still honest people in the Li family.
Her father's thoughts were passed on to her and her sister Li Yuhan, causing them to feel inferior since childhood: Don't you know that others look down on you?
They have been watching other people's eyes since they were young.
When I grew up and learned how to redeem myself, I understood a truth: in Lijia Village, everyone is an ordinary farmer, so who would look down on whom?
Are the people who look down on you richer than your family? Are their children more successful than yours? Are they successful people? Have they cleaned up their own messes yet are they still making fun of others?
Li Hongwei said stop talking, he said this to cover up because he saw that his brothers all looked unhappy. In his heart, he actually thought that what Li Yutong said was right, but it was too disrespectful to them.
"Then let's change shifts. The eldest brother was on guard last night, so I'll take over today." said the second brother Li Hongjian.
The fourth brother, Li Honggang, had no objection either.
Li Yutong immediately took her mother Liu Lanxiang away. Li Hongwei said a few words to his second brother Li Hongjian, and then walked away a little slower.
At the bottom of the hospital building, Li Yutong said to her mother Liu Lanxiang: "Mom, don't tell my dad about my grandpa's hospitalization. He is impatient. Don't get angry at you for a few wrong words. I just said that he has seven children of his own. It's not his wife's turn to take care of them. He has never been good to our family."
She clearly remembered that when she couldn't pay the tuition, her grandfather refused to lend her money and said that it was useless for a girl to study and that she would marry someone else in the future. After she left crying, her grandfather sent the money to Zhaojia Village overnight and gave it to her eldest aunt to pay for Zhao Pengfei's tuition. She couldn't understand it at that time.
At least her surname is Li, and Zhao Pengfei and the others are surnamed Zhao.
At least when it comes to the obligation of supporting the elderly, when it comes to their grandchildren, they should first look for their own granddaughters, rather than their grandsons-in-law.
In their previous lives, Zhao Pengfei and his friends did not provide for their retirement.
When her grandmother was paralyzed at her home, these cousins still didn't give her a penny, and when they came to visit her, they came empty-handed.
Regardless of whether it was Li Hongyan's instruction or not, she didn't let her sons take it for fear that it would benefit her family, or at least some of her cousins. In their hearts, parents are the most important, and grandparents are not important. So all the efforts her grandparents Li Pingwang and Chen Xiaoying made for their grandchildren over the years were in vain.
If she really loves you, asking you a few more questions behind your back and secretly giving 200 yuan to her parents who are taking care of her nanny, that's also a gesture.
At that time, they were already adults and working. Li Hongyan boasted that they earned 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month.
Did they give it? No?
Not a single chicken feather was seen.
Li Yutong felt angry when she thought of these things.
"I know, but I won't tell you." Liu Lanxiang knew her daughter was on her side. Now that she was no longer in the ward, she was no longer depressed, so she started talking about something else. She lowered her voice and said, "Do you know? Your father told me yesterday that your eldest aunt is not your grandparents' biological daughter. Do you know that?"
Seeing the excitement and gloating in her mother's eyes, Li Yutong also smiled. She understood her mother very well. She had been bullied by her aunt Li Hongyan for twenty years. Her parents-in-law sided with the eldest daughter, but as a result, since she was not their biological daughter, all the benefits went to the ungrateful person.
Look now, there is no one around.
"I know," she said.
Liu Lanxiang was still sneering: "I have never seen anyone more foolish than your grandfather. He holds a stranger's child in high esteem and uses his own child as a stepping stone for Li Hongyan. Look, look, your father and your uncles, which one of them has any future? They are all useless, and they have given all their money to support Li Hongyan."
In Liu Lanxiang's short-sighted understanding, if she had money, she should use it on her biological children. It was good enough that the adopted one did not starve her, beat or scold her. However, her father-in-law was willing to be humiliated and brought all his own flesh and blood to serve an adopted daughter as slaves.
Is Li Hongyan destined to be a lady?
Are they just slaves serving others?
The mother and daughter were talking when suddenly, Li Yutong saw a familiar person coming in from the gate of the courtyard. He had gray hair and a hunched back. When he saw them, he seemed to look at them a few more times and then left quickly.
